Incidents

On 15 November 2017, at approximately 8.20am, two Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CSR Qingdao Sifang 151A trains collided at Joo Koon station. A train fault had caused the first train, Tuas Link bound, to stall at the platform. A minute later, a second train, which had stopped behind it, moved forward unexpectedly and collided with the stationary train. 36 passengers and 2 staff sustained injuries and were taken to nearby hospitals. This was the second collision in the MRT system’s history, following an incident at Clementi station in 1993.[7][8]
